Oregon 2000 - Manual (Page 9)

Turn lanes
When you approach an intersection with several lanes, choose the
one with the arrow pointing where you want to go. You may get cut
off by turning cars if you’re in the wrong lane. If there is a straight
through bike lane, use it only if you’re going straight ahead.
If you can’t make it across traffic to the correct lane, use the cross-
walk instead.
Use hand signals when turning
Signal before making a turn to warn traffic behind you. To signal a
left turn, look behind you, then hold your left arm out. To signal a
right turn, either hold your right arm out, or hold your left arm up,
with bent elbow. You don’t have to keep your arm out through the
turn – you may need both hands on the handlebars to keep control of
your bicycle.
